This is insanity
March 15, 2021

So I've been on I-Ready for a few years now and I feel like it just babies one another. Even when you get the question right, it still says the answer. And it reads the answer for you. Another thing is that you don't learn anything. And when you get the question wrong it just makes you feel bad. It sucks, and it "Tracks your minutes". What's the point of that?! Overall, I say it should be taken down.

Distracts from learning
November 13, 2020

The storylines are too long and are a waste of students time. I get that the objective is to get students learning but it's actually so boring and unproductive. If they were to try and entertain the students better, they should at least not make the characters dialogue so long. They do not help students understand what mistakes they made during their quizzes at all. When you fail at a quiz, they make you re-do the lesson over and over until you get it right, but if the lesson that taught them how to do the quiz let them fail it, isn't the lesson the thing that was supposed to teach them in the first place? At least make another, much more thorough lesson for students who have failed the quiz instead of making them redo the thing that failed to teach them. This website should not be mandatory if classroom because of so many issues. What's worse is that they do nothing to change their issues. Please fix how you run your lesson and listen to reviews.

Trash
February 24, 2021

It's trash because if you get only three wrong you have to do the lesson again you and it's literally HELL you have to sit there for hours just to fail on the test. It's also so boring the animation looks like it's from 2012. I suggest not using this site.

Iready is not a good curriculum. It goes over the same concepts over and over even after they are mastered. You cannot see your child's progress or upcoming lessons. You have to refer to your teacher for everything. My child is very bored with this curriculum and even prefers IXL over it. The customer service representative was also very unhelpful when I called to inquire about my daughter's progress.

It causes stress and takes WAY to long to complete. As a almost middle schooler who is using this annoying and stressful program, I would rather do state testing daily then this. The whole thing is a waste of my energy. Teachers, move away from this program, for your students. It was fun when I was in first grade. Back when I enjoyed everything. Now that I am more mature, I see the pain of I-ready. The stress and anxiety. Therefore, DON'T USE I-READY!
Edit: I have matured, and I have thankfully improved my writing skills, as well as stopped using this program. Last time I was on there, I saw that it said that 29 x 49 = 1937, even though the true answer is 1421. To put it short, I-Ready has a lot of errors. Teachers, even though my 5th grade self was dramatic, please try to find an alternative to I-Ready.

Over explaining.
May 13, 2021

I am a smart student usually, but my teacher has been assigning i ready assignments. Over explaining is sciencetifically proven to be unhelpful and confusing. When you are trying to learn you should have the choice to ask for help, But even if you do understand the stupid over explaining lesson confuses you and you end up getting the question wrong.

Worst website ever!
November 19, 2022

This place is torture. If you go to both math and reading, The instructions and practice doesn't count in your grade in Iready. Only the quiz does. If you go to my progress and click on completed work, you can only see the percentage on the lessons, but you can't see what you or the students or someone else's problem they got wrong. I-ready also causes SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, ADHD, STRESS, ANXIETY, AND MORE BAD STUFF. I do not recommend this app. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% garbage. I hope this app burns in lava like the other stressful and bad apps.

This is such a cheap waste of time. WHY do teachers still use this it makes students/me stressful and we have to do 1-2 lessons every day. Everyone at my school talks about how bad iready is. If you put this in front of Frank Woods it would be worse than the chair. So ya this app is soooooooo… bad.No Cap.

So... Where do I begin? Well, their jokes at the end are just terrible and the audio with the image doesn't match up with the person's mouth. Another reason I absolutely hate Iready is their lessons and quizzes are so long. My eyes always hurt after looking at the screen for so long. Under the Iready logo it should say, "Side effects: Headaches and eye strains." Another reason that could just be for me but whenever I get a question wrong they make it sound like it's the end of the world or you just sinned against their fricken math culture. I hope teachers see this so they don't have to put their kids in this torture like I am in. I hope my teacher sees this too.

What a trash site
October 21, 2020

Wow, this is filled with students ranting and losing their mind, but 5-star reviews on i-Ready means two things: One, they are a criminal, or two, they are the corrupt person in a board of education you've been looking for. It doesn't teach anything (an example would be it disguises one-digit subtraction as fraction subtraction.) It is graded, there is a bug which when you get a grade of 70/100 (the lowest passing grade,) it says you didn't pass it and you have to do it over. Speaking of doing it over, that is completely unnecessary and I could rant on all day just about that "feature". My school (I'm in 4th grade) says you have to do 1 lesson and 45 minutes of it per week. What a stupidly trash site! Someone named Vivi P. Said it was good, well I am discrediting her by name. Sorry, but you're wrong Vivi.

Wow, 12.5k views and 35 helpful votes?!?!? This review was a joke and now I'm in the 5th grade.

I $#*!ing hate I-ready. It is so boring and it has no fun in the website. When you're doing a quiz and you get 3 or more questions wrong, It $#*!ing fails you, and the worst part is your teacher giving you 30 minutes of I-ready. That's like 30 mins of a nightmare

-1,000,000,000 stars
December 16, 2020

I'm sure many of you do iready. This program makes you cringe and punch the screen down. Every single kid at my school HATES iready. Unforturenatly, this piece of crap is enforced tuesdays and thursdays. It takes 20-40 mins. The animation looks like a 5 yr old drew it. Speaking of 5 yr old, that piece of crap treats u like it. If you haven't tried this dumpster looking, abysmal, ugly, piece of garbage DON'T. If I could rate -1,000,000,000 I would. STAY AWAY. Parents, it will want to make your kids kill themselves

I'm Farlander Y. Just wanted to say that quitting iready cured my depression. One of the many reasons i quit school entirely and went to a school that opens the day with playing Minecraft for 1 1/2 hours. Paradise

Why?
September 24, 2020

Its just horrible, Idk who made this torture device, idk why my teachers are so ok with it. If they try it I am sure it will make them want to poop in the dumpster rather than doing this crap. Its has some really dumb questions. It looks like they made it in 2001, and most of all, they are trying to make it fun, but like I said... Its a torture device.

DIE
June 2, 2022

1. The reading section is so boring 2. The characters voices where done in the middle of heatwave in a daycare 3. The vocab lessons are super annoying, at the first part it says: " if you don't know what a word means, look inside the word, look around the word, or look beyond the word" while the annoying animation played

Iready i the absolute worst ive had to go through pretty much 5 years of school for the up and it is terrible. If you get 3 maybe 4 questions wrong you have to go through the instruction, Practice, And quiz again. And it dosent teach you anything it gives you the same lessens just with different math, i have no idea why teachers made students do this piece of crap. I feel really bad for future students who have to go through this pain. Please ban iready theres no point of it excisting if people hate it a lot. Just delete it And save children suffering today.
